So he has become better than the angels: In this letter, Paul frequently uses the word “better” to emphasize the superiority of the Christian way of worship. (See “Introduction to Hebrews.”) Jesus became “better than the angels” because of a name that he inherited. That “name” stood for the great authority that Jehovah gave him. (See study note on Php 2:9.) Jehovah made Jesus “heir of all things.” (Heb 1:2 and study note) He also appointed his Son—not any of the angels—to be a king, an apostle, and a high priest in the manner of Melchizedek. (Heb 1:8; 3:1; 5:8-10; 7:1-3; compare Re 11:15.) What is more, Jesus alone was offered up as a ransom sacrifice “once for all time.”—Heb 1:3; 9:28.
